Hello gentlemen,

I'm a fullstack j2ee web developer. Trying to implement hibernate search in our application for faster searching.
We are using JPA with spring stereotype annotations. In my indexer class after creating a fullTextEntityManager and passing it the
entityManager, i fire the createIndexer().startAndWait(). All the tables in the project have been annotated appropriately and i can see all the select queries executing in the console when the above method executes.

But the index is not getting written to the directory and its empty. No errors are getting thrown as well.
We are using hibernate.properties file to store the indexBase and Filesystem values.

I suspect its not able to read the directory path from hibernate.properties.

Tested in a separate test project using pure hibernate session and everything worked flawlessly.

Any workaround and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
the default is to use the filesystem to store the index, so it must be writing the index somewhere else; the default is the current path (the path from were you started the JVM). Are you able to find the index there?

Hibernate Search gets the properties directly from Hibernate ORM, so if it's ignoring the hibernate.properties file I would expect it to ignore all of the Hibernate configuration properties. Is that correct?
